UHCC recognises the issue ( good) and has the answer (bad).
The railway crossing south of UH rail station coupled with the four directional roundabout a few metres east is causing traffic congestion all round and the situation will simply get much worse with increase rail transport and much increased traffic.
The most obvious solution is a vehicular underpass (such as the one created south of Silverstream rail station many years ago) or an over head vehicular bridge.

But no. UHCC see resolving the situation is in removing the round about and in its place installing a set of traffic lights.

While this will go a little way towards some alleviation of the traffic snarl, it does nothing to address the lines of traffic held back by wooden arms waiting for trains to go from either direction at a greatly increased frequency.

But to the person who screamed that the UHCC would not do anything, I guess that person is mistaken.

TELL US WHAT YOU WANT IN A COMMUNITY HUB IN WAIKANAE!

Terisa Ngobi, Sophie Handford and I had such a good discussion this week about Waikanae and its needs, and I would love to hear your views too -
While the replacement Waikanae Library is being redesigned, we have probably three years during which we do not have a community hub in the heart of Waikanae that you all can feel welcome in, apart from the Cameo rooms in Mahara Place –
They are a unique space in the town centre, ideal for smaller community groups to meet; for new groups to start up; for people to learn new things (currently card games and music but we are looking at all sorts of things) and – always – for people to pop in when they are passing or waiting for a train or bus and just want to put their feet up.
So tell us what you would like to see in a community hub – an internet connection so that we can have computers available for people to use or learn to use in this digitally demanding world?
Our JPs come every Tuesday morning, but would you also like to see a Citizens Advice volunteer available once a week? Age Concern?

Tell us what you think!
